AMI YAMASAKI | LIVE PERFORMANCE

Monday 18 November 2019, 7pm

Ami Yamasaki sings the sounds of brooks, birds, trees and waterfalls. An experimental vocalist and cross-disciplinary artist from Tokyo, she creates live acoustic performances, installations and films.

Everyone is welcome, donations on admission support the programme.

Doors open at 6.30pm. No booking required.

Ami’s work explores a fundamental question: ‘How does the world construct itself?’ For her, this question is a love letter to the natural world and to life itself, more vital than any answer. She sings as she works at each site and the patterns she creates are a direct response to the acoustic feedback she receives. She sings, and listens, and ‘little by little, the space begins to make its own music’.

Ami sings with a technique called echo-location. She has performed in various contexts, including galleries where she has sung in duets with paintings and with audience members.

There is a car park on the West side of the building – turn right off Park Road. Parking is free in all car parks on the estate after 6pm. For more information about visiting the estate, directions and maps, visit the Dartington website here.

There isn’t currently an accessible wheelchair entrance to the Aller Park building – there are four steps from the car park to the entrance hall.
